Brexit Ripples

George Rebane

The ripples from Brexit will travel far and wide, and in their turn give rise to more of what happened in the UK. Brexit and its aftermath will once again confirm what we have here argued for years – people want to live where their culture is dominant and celebrate the self-determination to make it so. That widespread sentiment, summarized as ‘local control’ or ‘local governance’, applies to jurisdictions that span continents to counties (e.g. the SoJ movement). It is also a fundamental element of populism.

Now we see serious discussions of the Great Divides, yes plural, starting to form. Scotland will no doubt take another swing at separating from Great Britain, and so will Northern Ireland whose citizens will now want to ‘stick to their own kind’ and join their kin on the remainder of their island. We already saw the Great Divides in the Balkans and what was Czechoslovakia. Catalonia and the Basques may also find additional motives to separate from Madrid, and the Italian boot may abbreviate into a more fashionable calf high model.

In the US the Democrats are scared silly that their progressive globalist message will finally be outed as nothing but the road to tyranny. There is no denying that all countries are better off trading, but couching new trade agreements so that they only trade goods and services and not sovereignty will be a definite pushback for those one-worlders who recognize neither Islam nor the US Constitution. A clutch of them were seen attempting to subvert House rules in order to continue their diversion from terrorism to gun control.

What is most amusing in all this is progressives attempting to discount Brexit as an aberration of the older voters (who still understand British culture), voters not long for this world after which the younger millennials will set things right and again bow to Brussels. These innumerates never learn that the older demographic is constantly more than replenishing itself with new voters whose years have also come with the wisdom of a lifetime. And that is a never ending process, the older generation is never going away, it will always be there with values few of the young have yet acquired.

If anyone needs another confirmation that the European Union is fundamentally the most anti-democratic entity currently in existence, then the following statement by European Parliament Martin Schultz should put all confusion to rest.

Schulz: "The British have violated the rules. It is not the EU philosophy that the crowd can decide its fate".

fish 1103am - Good pick up Mr fish. Our central planners always know what's best for us and do all possible to insulate themselves from our wrongheaded desires. We read these sentiments right here as progressive neighbors tell to just grin and bear it with Sacramento, after all, anything else would just be lèse majesté.

BREAKING NEWS! The ripple effect has begun.. Donald J Trump, the American billionaire has just announced he bought Scotland. Said Mr. Trump "The best Scotish Whiskey can be found at my terrific new golf course"

"Amid all the turmoil in global financial markets and political upheaval in the U.K. in the wake of Thursday’s "Brexit" vote to leave the European Union, at least one big lesson for the U.S. is already clear: There are a lot of people who have not enjoyed the fruits of globalization; whose incomes are stagnating; and who feel threatened by technology, trade, and immigration. They are angry. And they vote."

The only thing stopping Trump now is Trump himself. He has a clear path to take it to the house. He is on the right side of history. The right tool for the right job at the right time.
42 million ain't even a drop in the bucket needed to stop the ignorant unwashed masses chanting "USA, USA, USA, USA!" Hillary better shake down Wall Street again for more greenies.

Once again the elitist libs are on the wrong side of history. Never underestimate the knuckle dragging ignorant unwashed masses chanting "USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA!!"
3 cheers for the Red, White, and Blue.

The ripple effect has shown a rather positive side to all the confusion. Finally, it has dawned on our best and brightest, our elitist rulers to be, that it is not beyond the realm of possibility that they live in a bubble...a gosh darn bubble, a very real liberal bubble at that.
Yep, I see some similarities between what is happening across the pond at Oxford and here at Harvard.

"they [the voters] rejected the multinationals, they rejected the merchant banks, they rejected big politics and they said, actually, we want our country back, we want our fishing waters back, we want our borders back, we want to be an independent self-governing, normal nation and that is what we have done and that is what must happen"

Imagine that. Wanting to be a normal nation. If we Ugly Americans can't be exceptional, I will gladly settle for being a normal nation. What a concept.
That sly ole rascal Nigel had been around for awhile. Now, he finally caught up with the times. Get down on your bad self, Nigel.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RVUHYfjyVYI

My, my, look who is coming out of denial fog first. Besides the usual jabs at Nigel, he has changed his tune. At least Georgie Porgie cracked open that steel trap of a brain and let some realism sneak in. Reality, what a concept.

It was dumb lib maneuver to think you could away the fishing waters from a nation known for Fish & Chips without any repercussions, was it not Gerogie Porige? You cut too close to the bone with that boneheaded stunt.

Nigel resigns!! . Said he left the business world to fight for Britain's sovereignty as 60% of the UK's laws were being written by unelected bureaucrats from Brussels and now it is time to go back to his business world. He believes the profession political class is not good for the country for which it stands, aka, George Washington, Daniel Boone, and a host of other rascals. Nothing to do with the link, lol.

Favorite quote:
He added: “What the British people voted for was freedom over economic arguments."

Wow. I don't know if this is part of Agenda 21, but the driving force behind Brexit was indeed to stop a Agenda 21 type goal. Britian has freed itself from the real enemy to democracy.

“Europe’s nations should be guided towards the Super-state without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation."

"Under the radical proposals, EU countries will lose the right to have their own army, criminal law, taxation system or central bank, with all those powers being transferred to Brussels'

BillT 1009am - good catch Mr Tozer. Yes, being diverted by the 'economic argument' has been a reliable path toward the global super-state. Progressives have latched on to it as the placeholder for their ideological arguments for such a state which come across somewhere between naive and sinister with a good dose of stupid thrown in.

Brexit and other separatist movements indicate that people are beginning to pick up on being herded toward a future of global central planning and control.
